Right sized, flexible technology and business value

The PowerEdge™ T310 was designed to meet the needs of the growing small business or remote office by offering more features and performance than a basic, entry-level server.

Customizable with optional advanced systems management capabilities including remote management, a short 20.5 inch chassis, redundancy, if you need it, and cost effective RAID options, the T310 is the ideal, robust and reliable 1-socket tower server.

Dell™ aims to add value to your business by providing the features you need. Our goal is to deliver value through tailored solutions based on industry standards, as well as purposeful, innovative design.

Purposeful Design

The PowerEdge T310, part of the 11th Generation PowerEdge server portfolio, is built with system design commonality and reliability. All 11th Generation servers are built with user ease in mind.

All external ports, power supplies, LED lights and LCD screens are kept in the same location for familiar user experience and easy installation and deployment.

The PowerEdge T310’s purposeful design provides quiet acoustics and an optional interactive LCD screen positioned on the front by the bezel for ease of monitoring (not available on all models).

Robust, metal hard drive carriers and organized cabling are designed to improve component access and airflow across the server.

With a chassis depth of 20.5”, the PowerEdge T310’s chassis is ideal for use in a back office, retail or small office setting where small chassis and quiet acoustics matter.

Energy-Optimized Technology

Energy Smart technologies are at the core system level on the PowerEdge™ T310. These energy-optimized technologies are designed to increase energy efficiency within the server, while continuing to deliver the performance your business requires.

Built with lower wattage power supplies than its predecessor, the PowerEdge T310 offers highly efficient, cabled or redundant power supply options. Also included in the T310 are low-flow fans, designed to spin faster in accordance with server workload demands and help reduce unnecessary noise when possible. In addition, the logical component layout aids in airflow direction, helping to keep the server cool. The T310 also includes Energy Smart power management features such as power capping, power inventory and power budgeting to best manage power in your specific environment.

Simplified Systems Management

The Lifecycle Controller is the engine for advanced embedded management and is delivered as part of the optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise in the PowerEdge™ T310. The Lifecycle Controller helps to deliver faster server deployment and update capabilities from a bare-metal pre-operating system environment.

With a single access point via the Unified Server Configurator (USC) interface, the USC tool provides a one stop shop to enable efficient operating system deployment with built-in driver installations, firmware updates, hardware configuration and diagnosing issues with the system.

Servers selected with hot pluggable hard drives will also get the benefit of an interactive LCD which can be accessed remotely via optional iDRAC Express or iDRAC Enterprise for system alerts, power usage as well as some boot-up options.

Also part of Dell’s OpenManage portfolio is the Dell™ Management Console, which ships free with every Dell server and provides IT administrators with a consolidated view of their IT infrastructure.

Dell offers a wide range of professional services to simplify the assessment, design, implementation, management and maintenance of your IT environment and to help you transition from platform to platform.

Virtualization SolutionsDell Management Plug-in for VMware vCenterWhat if you could manage your physical infrastructure from your virtual console?What if you could rapidly and consistently provision hardware and deploy virtual machines from within VMware vCenter?What if you could reduce the number of steps needed to deploy virtual infrastructure?

With the Dell Management Plug-In for VMware vCenter installed in your VMware environment, you can:• Get deep-level detail from Dell servers for inventory, monitoring and alerting— all from within vCenter • Deploy BIOS and firmware updates to Dell servers from within vCenter • Build hardware and hypervisor profiles and deploy any combination of the two on bare-metal Dell PowerEdge servers without a preboot execution environment (PXE) • Automatically perform Dell-recommended vCenter actions based on Dell hardware alerts • Access Dell hardware warranty information online

And, to give you even more power, we deliver our plug-in as a virtual appliance. That makes it easier to deploy and configure and offers integration directly into the vCenter console, providing more information inside of vCenter itself — unlike many other vendors who provide only "link-and-launch" capabilities to point to their own proprietary consoles.

The combination of the Dell Management Plug-In for VMware vCenter and the revolutionary embedded management features offered by Integrated Dell Remote Access Controller (iDRAC) with Lifecycle Controller in Dell PowerEdge servers gives you an unmatched level of integration between vCenter and your server hardware.
